    PMP · Question 09 · Task 11: Engage and support virtual teams

    A project manager is leading a virtual team spread across four time zones. Team members report feeling disconnected and communication effectiveness has declined. Daily stand-ups are challenging to schedule, and some team members feel excluded from important decisions. Which TWO actions should the project manager take FIRST to improve virtual team engagement?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Mandate that all team members relocate to the same time zone for the project duration

    B.

    Establish rotating meeting times to ensure all time zones have equal participation opportunities

    C.

    Increase the frequency of status reports to improve communication

    D.

    Implement collaborative tools and asynchronous communication methods for decision-making

    E.

    Assign a team lead in each time zone to represent their region in all meetings

    F.

    Schedule all meetings during overlapping business hours only

    How to approach this question

    Look for solutions that address both the time zone challenges and the engagement/inclusion issues through equitable participation and effective communication tools.
